| Batsman | R | B | 4s | 6s | SR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ajinkya Rahane C | 9 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 90 |
|
3.4 OUT! Slower ball does the trick and a wicket against the run of play for Punjab. One shot too many from Rahane and it results in his downfall. Knuckle ball from Tye on middle and leg, Rahane takes a few steps forward and looks to go over mid-wicket. He gets a leading edge on it and the ball skies towards covers where Akshdeep Nath settles under it and makes no mistake. 37/1
|

| Jos Buttler Wk | 82 | 58 | 9 | 1 | 141.37 |
|
16.2 OUT! A well-played innings from Buttler comes to an end. Mujeeb now moves on top of the list of the leading wicket-takers. Sees Buttler charging so drags his length back on middle and leg. Buttler swings and misses the ball. It goes through to Rahul who takes the bails off. An important wicket for Punjab as Buttler could have made the difference towards the end. 132/4
|
|||||
| Krishnappa Gowtham | 8 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 133.33 |
|
6.3 OUT! There it is! Everybody's favorite line - 'A wicket after the break'. Slower length ball from Stoinis on middle and leg, Gowtham looks to clear long on but doesn't get enough distance on it. He ends up finding Tiwary stationed there who won't drop that. So the plan to send Gowtham up the order hasn't exactly paid off. 64/2
|

| Sanju Samson | 22 | 18 | 1 | 1 | 122.22 |
|
14.3 OUT! I don't want to say it but another wicket falls after the break. Tossed up ball from Mujeeb on middle and leg, Samson being positive looks to clear the long on boundary. Doesn't get enough power on it and finds Tiwary at the boundary line. 117/3
|

| Ben Stokes | 14 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 127.27 |
|
19.1 OUT! Stokes fails to make an impact in the last over. Slower ball from Tye outside off, Stokes gets low and reaches for it. Ends up taking it on the full, giving a simple catch to Ashwin at covers. Rajasthan losing wickets trying to up the scoring. 152/6
|
|||||
| Stuart Binny | 11 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 157.14 |
|
18 OUT! To our surprise, Binny is well short of his crease. He looked safe to the naked eye, but not to be. Stokes drills this to long off and thinks of the second. They come back but Nair there gets in a good throw at the non-striker's end. They take it upstairs and find out Binny is short. 147/5

| Jofra Archer | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
19.3 In the air... and taken! Manoj Tiwary takes another catch. Slow ball in line of the stumps, Archer swings but gets more height than distance. The ball goes towards long off, where Tiwary settles under it and takes a very good catch. Tye gets his second of the over. 153/7
|
|||||
| Jaydev Unadkat | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
20 OUT! Three wickets in the over and some excellent bowling by Tye in the death. Bowls this full on middle and leg, Unadkat lofts this over mid on but finds Nair in the deep. Just six off the last over and RAJASTHAN END WITH 158/8! 158/8

| Chris Gayle | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 100 |
|
2.0 OUT! Gayle is gone! Krishnappa Gowtham gets the breakthrough. Superb delivery. Probably knows Gayle is going to charge out, and he does, so Gowtham fires it full and down the leg side. Gayle misses and Buttler behind the stumps whips the bails off in a flash. No need for the replays, the square leg umpire raises his finger instantly. Wide signalled, but Rajasthan won't care. They have the big wicket of the West Indian. 14/1
|

| Ravichandran Ashwin C | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
2.2 OUT! The move to promote himself up the order has failed miserably. The Punjab skipper is gone on the second ball. Gowtham lands it outside off, just behind a driving length, Ashwin with no foot movement looks to go big downtown. It spins in, goes right through the gate and knocks the bails over. 14/2
|
|||||
| Karun Nair | 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 60 |
|
3.4 OUT! GONE! Another wicket down. Karun Nair departs. Rajasthan are off to a superb start. Archer bangs it in short on off, Nair looks to pull but the bounce gets too big on him. Gets a top edge which balloons towards mid-wicket, where Unadkat backpedals and takes a tumbling catch. 19/3
|
|||||
| Akshdeep Nath | 9 | 13 | 1 | 0 | 69.23 |
|
9 OUT! Sodhi strikes! Nath departs. Looped up on off, it's the leg break and Nath kneels down to play the big slog sweep. A big top edge and it skies towards long off. Krishnappa Gowtham settles himself under the ball and takes a lovely reverse cup catch. Punjab need 114 runs to win in 11 overs. 45/4
|

| Manoj Tiwary | 7 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 87.5 |
|
12 OUT! Stokes gets his first of the game. Tiwary fails to make an impact. Length ball on off, angling in as Tiwary looks to work it across the line. Spoons a leading edge towards Rahane at cover who dives forward and takes a good catch. 66/5
|

| Axar Patel | 9 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 180 |
|
13.3 OUT! Excellent throw from Binny in the deep. Axar slogs across the line through mid-wicket and quickly calls for the second. Binny from wide long on moves to his left, gets to the ball and fires in an accurate throw to Buttler, who takes the bails off in a flash. Axar dives in and the decision is taken upstairs. Replays show he's gone. Punjab in trouble here now. 78 off 39 needed to win. Marcus Stoinis is the next batsman in. 81/6

| Marcus Stoinis | 11 | 16 | 0 | 0 | 68.75 |

19.1 OUT! Stoinis has to make the long walk back! Low full toss wide outside off, Stoinis carves this over covers. Hits it flat and that becomes his undoing. Straight to Gowtham out in the deep who takes it above his head. Holds a cool pose too as he puts the ball in his pocket and stands there with his arms folded. Lovely. 127/7
